To make matters even worse, there’s usually a relatively bright star in the same field of view. So, through a telescope eyepiece, the horsehead appears dim, small, Read more…
The Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, and its companion, the Flame Nebula, sit near the star Alnitak in Orion’s Belt. Today, we know that the Horsehead is a dark, light-gobbling nebula made of cold gas and dust. What nebula is the Horsehead Nebula in? The Horsehead Nebula (also Read more…
It is possible to photograph this nebula using almost any camera (see my results using a $250 DSLR camera). The Horsehead Nebula lies close to the bright star, Alnitak, in Orion’s Belt. Can you take a picture of a nebula? In order to capture the full extent of the nebula, Read more…
Penicillin (Benzyl penicillin and procaine penicillin) Anaphylaxis/ allergic reactions occur following previous exposure/ sensitisation to penicillin. Mild signs include skin wheals or oedema to more severe signs causing the horse to drop suddenly to the ground showing breathing difficulties. This is often fatal.

How many horsepower is a kilowatt? 1.34 HPKilowatt to horsepower conversion is one of the most common ones. We’ll convert kW to HP for 3 examples further on: For an average 110 kW gas Read more…
The large intestine. The large intestine is the primary site of fibre digestion and net water absorption. Significant amounts of phosphorus are also absorbed from the large intestine. Many factors such as rate of passage, processing of feeds, level of intake, work and maturity of plant may influence digestive ability. Read more…
The small intestine is the place where the majority of digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. The small intestine can be divided into three sections – duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum is the first section and is the site of most digestion. Where does digestion take place in rabbits? Read more…
Impulsion is the movement of a horse when it is going forward with controlled power. Related to the concept of collection, impulsion helps a horse effectively use the power in its hindquarters. How do horses get impulsion? Don’t get fixed at the same speeds. Whatever pace you are in, keep Read more…
The limbs play a major part in the movement of the horse, with the legs performing the functions of absorbing impact, bearing weight, and providing thrust. In general, the majority of the weight is borne by the front legs, while the rear legs provide propulsion. What body parts do horses Read more…
